Jessica Biel Exits 'Wolverine' Movie

::::Sources say actress gets cold feet over
chance to play Marvel super-villain Viper.
Jessica Biel's stint as Viper was short-lived.
The Total Recall actress was in talks Friday
afternoon with 20th Century Fox to play the sexy
villain in The Wolverine. But by late Friday
night, Biel passed. Sources say she got cold feet.
A similar turn of events happened in 2007 when
Biel was in talks with Warner Bros. to play Wonder
Woman in a Justice League of America movie.
Fox now turns its attention to finding another
actress to portray the friend-turned-foe of the titular
Marvel mutant, played by Hugh Jackman.
The international cast already includes at Will Yun
Lee, Brian Tee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal
Yamanouchi, Rila Fukushima and Tao
Okamoto.
James Mangold is directing the film, which begins
shooting next month in Sydney.
Fox will release the pic July 26, 2013.
